Afghanistan’s National Statistics and Information Authority (NSIA) says 3.12 million national digital ID cards have been districted in the country in the past twelve months. The government agency said in a Facebook post this week that the figures were achieved following efforts deployed by 76 digital ID card distribution centers in all the 34 administrative provinces of the country.
Per the NSIA statistics, 2 million, 68 thousand cards have been handed to men, while 1 million, 56 thousand have been issued to women. In terms of areas with the greatest number of cards distributed, Kabul tops the chart with 700,000 cards given out.
